Hey Joe:

Yeah they really work wonders over my kids water gunns!  I can pump it up with about 150 160 psi and get him from about 80-90 feet, and not run out for about 5 minutes or more of sniper action.   As for the coloring of the "chrome" casing, I have painted it black, looks like nothing you would fight a fire with, unlike the ole red ones!

Dont you mean that your "Dad almost ripped off YOUR head" when you got him?

As for using it to Pump fluids UP to the fill holes it is a wonderful thing.  Those little pumps you all are talking about are a little small for me, gallon jugs! bahhhhh!!!

"I use an Old WATER fire extinguisher. Just fill with oil of your choice,
pump it up with air and you have a go anywhere oil filler. Use the proper
amount of air and you can either SHOOT the oil where you want it or drip it
in. I added a 3 ft length of hose to the original one and I can use it
anywhere. Try that! "
I have an old water fire extinguisher too that I have used for THINGS OTHER
THAN putting out a fire. As a word of caution, make sure it no longer
appears to be a fire extinguisher if it is filled with a fuel. Even if you
know it's not water some unsuspecting soul might grab it in a pinch and
really create a mess. I have never used one for a fire, but they make the
best water guns in the world. I almost ripped my dad's head off with mine
once. It was a pre-emptive strike. He deserved it.
